plant and told him how to plant
them; but he was born tired, and
didn't do it. So in sympathy for his
children, who were half starved, I
went over and planted another peck
of Irish potatoes for him. Some
months after that called to see how
the potatoes had come up, and ifthey
needed working. Imagine my sur
prise when he calmly told me that
the children had scratched up the
seed, and eaten them. All the Clubs
and Legislatures in the State could
not save this man from want; and
should he take to preaching the
churches would soon ship him to
Africa as a missionary.

Mr.. w. G.. Ledbetter, who made
some successful investments in or near
Birmingham, Ala, from which he has
realized considerable money, moved
with his family to that place last week.
We understand that Mr.. w. H. Bynum,
late Of the firm of Hinshaw Il Bynum,
contemplates locating there, while
one or two other citizens of Winston are
there on prospecting tours.
Mr.. Robert Belo met with an acct
dent last Friday evening which result
ed in breaking the thigh bone Of the
right leg. 1t seems a chimney of the
Belo House, in Salem, took fire, and the
flames escaping from an open stove-pipe
hole led to the belief that the house was
on fire. In h%urrying around Mr.. Belo
fell over something in the dining room,
catching the right leg under him, and
breaking the thigh bone. He suffered
much and it was sometime before his
physician, DR.. Bahnson, could ascertain
the extent of the injury or set the limb.
THE ROANOKE IL SOUTHERN RAILROAD
The people of Henry county, Va, are
still agitating the matter of the Roam
oke & Southern railroad, as we gather
from the following which we clip from
proceedings of a meeting held at Mar
tinsville, on Dist ult, to express the
sense of the people on the encourage
ment to new industries. After disposing
of other business, the Herald says: Mr..
ton about the Roanoke and Southern
railroad. He said there was nothing to
d~iscourage; on the the contrary every
thing to encourage the belief in building
of the road. The road will be built be-
yond a reasonable doubt, nothing would
more encourage promptness in the mat
ter than the fact than an assurance from
the moneyed men of Martinsyille that
they would stand by the movers. Such
expressions from the vice-President- OF
the company elected loud applause AID
put he meeting in fine humor.
WHAT ADVERTISING DOEs.-The expert
enced business man who advertises ju-
diciously knows that it pays, but there
are some business men who do not seem
to nave discovered this fact. We nave
received a number of testimonials of the
results Of advertising in their columns,
the last of which is from Col. Thos. M.
Holt. who had 225 bushels of clover seed
OIL his Linwood plantation, which he
thought would remain on his hands as
he didn't know of any one who wanted
to purchase. A friend suggested that
perhaps if he made announcement of
that fact in the columns of The PROG
GREssIvE FARMER, he would find pur-
chasers. He sent a short advertisement
and inside of two weeks he makes the
following urgent appeal to take it out.
RALEIGH, Januar.I 29th, 1887.
EDITOR Progressive FARMER:-Please

paper, as / have sold out all my seed,

gard to seed.

Records I'm Purple Ink.

During Gen. Grants term as president
one of his cabinet officers discovered that
the records of an important branch of
one of the departments had been for two
years written in purple ink. He at once
issued an order forbidding its use in the
department, purchased a new set of
books, into which two years records
were copied, and thus saved what in a
few years would otherwise have been
lost. 1t is n Of the problems Of chem
istry to find something which will make
permanent tho beautiful aniline colors,
but thus far all efforts have failed. 1t il
growing and more the custom TO
have deeds, contracts and valuable docu-
ments printed on a typewriter in aniline
ink. This is a great mistake, because in
a few years they are sure to be obliter-

The Meerschaum Industry.

It Is not generally known that the Or
binary meerschaum of pipe bowls, tips
and ornaments is a true mineral. Il Ia
found in considerable beds in Crimea, the
island Of Negropont, and in Asia Minor.
In chemical constitution 1t is q combina-
ton of magnesia, carbonic acid gas and
water. The largest and best pieces are
sent to Vienna, while the smaller bits are
purchased for the north German in
dustry. At the little dorf Of Ruhla, dis
tant sixteen kilometers from the historic
Eisenach, is the center Of the business.
The exports of finished products from
that village alone amounts to several
millions annually. The beds Of meer.
schaum are owned by the Turkish gov
eminent, but are worked by European
capital. About 1000 men are employed
at the mines .-Chicago Tribune.
